| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit covers the general structure of the human cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal and urogenital systems as a well as a brief outline of the relevant aspects of the upper limb. Together with histology and embryology, this study unit will serve as an introduction to the aspects of general anatomy that are relevant to the practice of dental surgery. Study-Unit Aims: The aim of this study-unit is for the student to acquire knowledge of the normal anatomical structure of the body and its various cells, tissues and organ systems as well as the embryological development of clinically important structures relevant for the clinical years of the MDS course. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Use appropriate anatomical terminology to explain the normal structures of the body at cell-, tissue- and organ level. - Describe structure/function correlations in microscopic anatomy (histology). - Describe the developmental processes in the beginning of the organism (embryology) - Outline the basic structure of the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal and urogenital systems and how structure subserves function. - Describe the relevant anatomy of the upper limb and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Identify structures in histological slides. - Identify gross anatomical structures in cadaveric specimens and radiological images - Locate and mark relevant structures of the body (living/surface anatomy). - Demonstrate on a living person the following sites of intramuscular injection (a) Deltoid muscle (b) Gluteal region - Demonstrate on a living person the following sites of intravenous injection & venesection (a) Median cubital vein; (b) Cephalic vein; (c) Basilic vein; (d) Long saphenous vein - Demonstrate on a living person the pulsation of the following arteries (a) Superficial temporal; (b) Facial; (c) Carotid; (d) Brachial; (e) Radial; (f) Femoral; (g) Dorsalis pedis - Communicate within the health team by using anatomical concepts and definitions.
